Crosby&#8217s 3 goals led Pens past Sabres 5-4

‘Crosby tied Patrick Marleau(notes) of idle San Jose for the NHL goals lead with 37 by following up his game-altering performance during the Penguins’ 2-1 shootout win Sunday against Detroit with an even better one. Crosby’s hat trick was his third of the season and fifth of his career, and the Penguins pressed unsuccessfully to try to get him a fourth goal in the final period.’
